        ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
        Linux Mint 22.1 or Ubuntu 24.04.3, no matter the desktop environment
        Java jdk 24.0.2 from https://jdk.java.net/24/

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        With an European keyboard layout such as Spanish, keyboard dead keys to use accented characters as áóéíóú do not work. For example, to get an accented e you type tilde (') and then type e and you should get é , it works fine with JavaFX 21 but not with 24 or 26

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Run KeyEventViewer from this other bug report: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8340982 ,
        Type tilde followed by a vower (eg: ' + e)

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        Character é should appear
        ACTUAL -
        Character e (without the tilde) appears
